MORNING UPDATE: FIREFIGHTERS fear that lightning strikes will spark more fires later today.

Yesterday services on both sides of the Border battled a series of blazes, most created by the storm cells that brought thunder and lightning to the district in late afternoon.

Two planes are now in the air looking for previously undetected fires started by the lightning strikes.

Fire authorities are most concerned with areas around Granya and Talgarno and the alpine resort of Mount Hotham.

The CFA says the bulk of the lightning strikes were in those areas but there was also significant activity around Mount Buffalo through Running Creek and Yackandandah.

Three water bombing helicopters are now on standby at Corryong with more storm activity forecast this afternoon.

NSW rural fire service Insp Marg Whener said lightning strikes had caused at least five fires on Saturday afternoon.

“Crews have remained busy overnight with additional lightening strikes across the district,” she said.

“The fire at Horse Creek Rd north of Jingellic is contained and crews are monitoring the area as weather across the district worsens today.

“An additional fire was detected over night at Peddles Hill, the communications site north-east of Henty.

“Six tankers with 15 personnel are in attendance at this fire. Heavy machinery has been utilised to contain this outbreak. A fire-line chainsaw crew is also on scene to assist.

“A fire has started in hilly bush terrain in the Wymah area overnight.

“Four tankers with 12 personnel are assisting a water bombing helicopter in this location.

“A chainsaw crew is also in attendance to attempt to contain this fire before the weather deteriorates.

“Aircraft surveillance of the area will be carried out later today in an effort to locate any further lightening strikes that remain undetected.

“Adjoining shires of Wagga, Tumut and Tumbarumba were also inundated with lightening strikes and fire calls overnight. Nine outbreaks across these areas continue to burn or are being monitored this morning.”

Police are also investigating the cause of a grass fire, near Chiltern, on Saturday afternoon.

About 30 hectares of farmland was burnt at the Tovey Road property, waterbombers preventing the fire spreading into nearby Mount Pilot National Park.
